GREAT ANIMALS ON SHIPs.-A Cal
cutta paper thus describes how ele-
plants 60 to sea. The hosting into
the air and lowering elephants into the
hold of q ship is not only an unusual
sight to most men but also . strange
experience to most elephants. They
we're lashed with strong ropes, slung
as far as practicable in sings, hoisted
up with cranes and three-fold tackles,
and lowered into the steamers hold
like bales of cotton. When in the
hold they were placed III pens built of
strong teak-timber balks, bolted to the
ships side to prevent them from
breaking loose. The fear the animals
suffered was the only pain they under
went, and by watching the eyes of the
poor beasts their terror was very man.
ifest. Tears trickled down their faces
and they rosred with dread, more
especially when being lowered into the
hold, the bottom Of which was sanded
for them to stand upon. We are told
that one timid female elephant actually
tainted, and was brought to with fan
and many gallons of water. At sea it
appears that the animals got into .
curious habit of occasionally-evident-
ly at preconcerted signal-setting to
work rocking the ship from side to
side by giving themselves, simultan-
eously, . swinging motion as they
stood athwart the ship, the vessel
rolled heavily as if in . sea-way.

This saying is nearly as old as the

rule without an exception. And we've
pursued our faith in the buying. Where
is there store in all this country that
has our advantages? Buyers in New
York from one years end to another,
with the cash, watching their chances;
attending every auction sale, every
trade-sale; all the sheriff's sales. Why,
we own goods always way below the cost
of manufacture. And we are doing
now better than we ever did. We've
found another opening, and the head of
our house is watching that.
We are going way beyond the old
saying, and assert that GOODS BOUGHT
RIGHT WILL SELL THEMSELVES. Watch
our prices; each one is direct appeal
to you-and prices, they are the test in
a store. No hyreoglyphics, no symbols,
but plain figures, marked out clear and
broad, with the knowledge beforehand
that they cannot be duplicated by any
house in the land. We are beyond any
they can't buy goods at
the prices we sell them to you. We pay
no middle-man's profits. We only stand
between you and the manufacturer and
often own goods at less than they cost
to make.
We have always dictated prices in
this market. We shall improve on this
even.
Our Spring Stock is putting in its APP

If at any time, we have not the ex-
